Summary
At some point you may wish to copy content from an old or completely different course. Here is how you can achieve this.
Resources
- Import course data (MoodleDocs)
- Course backup (MoodleDocs)
Instructions
You should consider duplicating the content to copy into a dummy section, as this will prevent sections headers from being overwritten and simplify the import process.
- Navigate to your Moodle course.
- Select More, then Course reuse from the navigation bar below the course title.
- Ensure Import is selected in the dropdown box at the top.
- Search for the course you wish to copy from, select it, then click Continue.
- Untick everything and select only the type content you want to import (generally activities and resources).
- Click None to unselect everything, then select only the content you wish to copy.
Note: You can select individual activities, but you are forced to select its parent section first, which will then be merged into the destination course including the section header. - Review what is being copied. If you are happy, click Perform import.
